Chilima says demos must go on: ‘Don’t muzzle unequivocal call of the people of Malawi‘

UTM Party president Saulos Chilima has again endorsed the cause of civil society organisations (CSOs) under the banner of Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) in holding  nationwide mass protests to force Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson Jane Ansah and other commissioners to resign.

Chilima: Free from fear, let’s people protest peacefully

The country’s immediate past Vice-President who is seeking nullification of the May 21 presidential election results, said this following an order by Inspector General of Police Rodney Jose for the HRDC to stop organising the nationwide protests.

In a statement released on Tuesday evening, Chilima said while he condemns acts of violence and looting registered during some of the demonstrations, “no State institution should be used to muzzle a very clear and unequivocal call of the people of Malawi”.

The coalition has organised mass protests on August 6 as they argue that  the current MEC led by Ansah has failed Malawians; hence, the need for the commissioners to resign.

Chilima is backing the calls for the immediate resignation of Ansah for allegedly failing the nation.

  1. LOAFERS AND FAILURES BEHAVE LIKE THIS,AFIKA NAZO PATI.MKUMATI AKHALE A PRESIDENT A MALAWI AMENEWA?KKKKKK MY FOOT.WANKHONDO NGATI UYU.YALAKWA YALAKWA MAN

  2. Chilima stand your grounds,you have not gone astray you are on the right channel.Nobody will block the way to freedom and prosperity of our marching masses of our land.Malawians,backward never and foreword ever,Malawi is our fatherland that the people of Malawi fought fearlessly to live in freedom and peace that Banda tried to rule us fore ever but,shamefully,the people of Malawi got united to defend their God given Mother Malawi.We Malawians in diaspora,vehemently side with our people from Chitipa to Nsanje and from Likoma to Chipata.The wretched people of Malawi will continue to demonstrate against rotten and corrupt regime Malawians have ever fallen into.The former deadly regime of the bloody MCP, introduced tribalism and brutality in their hidden bloody constitution.It would be a shameful and sinful state for Malawians to vote for MCP and its bloody MYP which massacred thousands of people in the country.Muthalika and his thief brother Bingu,stole millions of funds which could help the wretched people of our sweet Malawi.Finally,I vehemently support Chilima for supporting Malawians to continue demonstrating against Wicked and tribalistic regime Malawians have ever had.If the people of Malawi could unite and brought down the MCP satatnic and wicked regime,they can not fail to bring down the wretched and rogue regime of the DPP led by the notorious tribalists and corrupt Mathanyula.Long live the courageuos and determined people of Malawi.ALUTA CONTINUA !!!!

    1. His ego has completely obscured the power of reason. Very sad. The character has disheartened most would-be voters in 2024

    2. Ayamike ndani? No one owns this country. This political worshipping thing is what has made Malawi the 4th poorest in the world. So Malawians of goodwill are pushing hard to go into a new way of political thinking that can propel Malawi forward. Its a kind of change that will not be stopped. We have retrogressed too much.

    3. @Kuthundira: Good and pertinent questions apa.
      But one more question: Does this kid Chilima not feel guilty for destroying the futures of the likes of Akweni, who followed him like bees to pollen flowers, based only on his pumped up ego, exuberance and exaggerated political acumen?
      So, Chilima owes people answers; he can start by answering your questions above.
      And, while he’s at it, he may as well answer mine.

  7. Nundwe said he will abide with constitutional rights and therefore, protecting people’s rights.Apolisi mudziwanso anyani inu.

  8. Mbuzi yotchedwa chilimayi ndi ya nsanje yochititsa manyazi. alibe nzeru ameneyu ndipo sangakhale mtsogoleri wa dziko because he condones lawlessness. He is just triple stupid!

    1. I see your deep cry. Admit it: you made a grave mistake to underrate him and see him out! Fortunately, the only wisdom you have is to re-instate the status quo…swallow your pride and make a winning move – plead him back in!

      1. what has he achieved so far? The fact remains that he refused to resign when he was collecting salaries from doing nothing, the result is Chimulirenji taking over. Another fact is that he lost elections big time. Is he of any value now? He remains a big loser!

    2. Buzi ndiweyo I’m That I am. Malawi is drifting to catastrophe because of the root cause being the unfainess of the MEC and you are supporting that? You do not love Malawi – Mbuzi iwe

  9. Yes indeed my President, one person by the name Jane Ansah can’t hold the country at ransom.
    She need to go and bring in someone who is capable to lead without bias.

    She has demonstrated her evil mind to the entire world who she is. She is heartless woman who doesn’t care about the well being of her country may be it’s bcoz she has a second country called Ghana.

    She must go indeed with her boyfriend Muntharika and bring in Anastazia Msosa .

  10. Are you aware that both Ansah and Alfandika disappeared to the UK although it is only Alfandika who has returned. Tax payers money is till being blundered in different ways. If Ansah challenged that she would not resign it must be known that those words did not directly come from her mouth, but someone , somewhere told her not to.

    1. Akapado – amakudulani dzingati inu pa salary yanu? zoti mpamka ikakwane ulendo wa chair ku UK??? kodi yodyetsa ng’gombe anayamba kudula msonkhonso???

  11. Malawi is a sick state. How can an individual in the name of Rodney Jose, IG of police, suspend the supreme law of the land? This is unheard of from any well organised society. The court ruled against such manipulative acts in 2002. Exactly whose interest in this country is the police serving?

  12. Ex-Veep is full of envy, hatred and spirit of destruction. As he is now operating under Mtambo’s petticoat, he does not need to repeat what his boss has said as this is not an independent voice. Many have called for an end to protest and you idiots are not listening. You must be met by force if you insist on continuing with the demos.

    1. I hope this situation has given the H.E a good example kuti osasankha munthu chifukwa ndi oyera – chati mbee sichinaphye ambuye

    2. Yasser, you are the one who is an Idiot. You fail to simple logic before your very eyes. Which school did you go to? I doubt if you went to any decent school.

    1. Koma nde kuliratu kkk. Muyitaneni munthu mukhale naye pansi. Vomelezani kuti munanyoza kolemera

  13. saulosi chilima the game changer , iwe ndikatundu ife timacha ndipo timacha poka ppka jeni hansa atatula udindo baasi, ife ndi amalawi sitingagonje chifukwa Cha muntu mmozi , office ya mec siyake Jane ansa azikakamila Choncho ngati zakwao ,

  14. This is another greedy fool trying to support the distabilization of the country because he lost the presidential elections, he only got 4 out of 193 Parliamentarians and his entire high table during campaigns lost in the attempts for Parliamentary seats. Arafat, you have no locus standi for making this statement as your party, UTM, is under the petticoat of Mutambo’s HRDC. All the demos that you and your few followers have participated in have not been peaceful and must stop. It is is not only the IG and MDF leadership calling for an end to the violent demos but the majority of the civilian populations and traditional leaders. Stop being bent on destroying the nation, muzzling peace and calm, law and order in Malawi which we all know is motivated and motored by your dirty greed. Wait for the court process following your petition.

  15. This man will die with anger, envy and frustration. He thought he was going to win the elections but his group performed miserably. He was too pompous before elections and now he is swallowing his pride. Kunong’oneza bobono orbondo tsopano. The bible declares, “ if the LORD does not build a house, the builder build it in vain. Jehovah was not pleased with you. He likes the humble and resist the proud. God saw it before the foundation of this world, before you were formed in your mother’s womb that you are not worthy to be the president of a nation, but the party, just to satisfy your desires. Nothing will be bright for you Chilima. Arrogance will not take you anywhere. You are a true example of Abissalom who rebelled against his father David and even wanted to kill him. He never survived. God is God.

  16. I find it had to believe that an IG of police
    can actually demand that the rights of citizens be suspended. Even the request by our Ngoni brothers is pathetic. Look Mr Mtambo these thugs will take advantage of every event to make the domes lose momentum. Don’t listen to these fake requests. The demos will on 6th they their ngoni thing on 7 and 8 and we return on the 9th. We do ours peacefully so no need for them to worry unless it denies them a chance to disturb the demos. In any case it is these tribal gatherings that are fueling tribalism. They need to be stopped if we are to be revolve into one perfect people eventually.

      1. CILIMA IS TRUE MAN NOT TIPEX THIEVE PRESIDENT WOBWERA MATCHONA WOSADZIWIKA KOMWE ADALI KUTI? KUMABWERA KUMADZATIVUTITSA EVIL MAN WITH YOUR FACE TOO UNYA
